   I have a page I am working on with lots of images in several categories.

   Right now I am experimenting with using OPM (vertical tabs) for all my categories and then placing a separate Info Slider inside each OPM panel.

   Currently I have the first Slider that appears set to Auto-run when page loads. If I then click another OPM tab to go to a different Slider and then go back to that first OPM panel, I see that it has been progressing through images in the background? Is that right?

   I would "like" to have ALL the OPM Sliders set to auto-run, but I am afraid that could cause some serious performance issues if someone clicks through 10 OPM tabs and 10 sliders are loading images in the background?

   I may have to try something else for this?

   I guess I was expecting Info Sliders to only run when an OPM Panel was open and pause or reset when changing focus to a new panel, but I see where that could not be set inside the Info Slider interface as it would have no idea of what container it might be inserted in. I guess that would take some custom scripting.

   I see now that even if I manually direct an Info Slider to begin running and then switch to another panel and back, it is still running.

   Maybe my only option would be to disable the "play" functions on all Info Sliders and just make the user manually click through each presentation.

   There is no way for OPM to know that it's hidden inside another element. So, as you've deduced, a widget or gallery placed inside another widget should usually be set to not run automatically.

   Thanks for confirming.
